New Territory

Having been in Australia for 19 years, I have been to every state except Northern Territory. Today, I can say that I have been to all 6 states and 2 territories.

We left Boodjamulla and took the shortest route to Lorella Springs via the Savannah Way. This means unsealed/gravel road almost all the way. We did, however, wasted 45 minutes having to turn back from Bowthorn as the road was closed. 

The drive was interesting with lots of cattle and burnt out/rusty cars by the side of the road. There were a few river crossings with warnings of crocodiles. I did keep an eye out hoping to spot one.

After the last roadhouse/fuel stop in Queensland named Hell's Gate Roadhouse, we crossed over to Northern Territory. Of course, we stopped and took a picture of the sign as per photo evidence here!

After 8 hours of driving, we decided to stop for the night. We found a rest stop off the road, thanks to Wiki Camp.
